Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati is yet to hit the screens but the filmmaker's next Gustakhiyan has already been in news for quite some time. And why not? With a subject like Amrita Pritam and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi's love story, it's hard to not be excited for this project.

But more than the storyline, it's the star cast that has kept the film in news. From Abhishek Bachchan to Priyanka Chopra, many names cropped up for the lead roles. But nothing has been finalised as yet. In fact, latest buzz has it that Priyanka, who was in India to finalise her next Bollywood project, did not sign on the dotted lines. And it seems the filmmaker has pushed Gustakhiyan to backburner.

According to a report in DNA, after the release of Padmavati, Bhansali would dive into another project with Shah Rukh Khan. Apparently the film is a period drama, and Bhansali is keen to cast SRK and Kangana Ranaut for the film.

While nothing is official as Shah Rukh is currently shooting for Aanand L Rai's next. And Kangana, who is busy with the promotions of Simran, will resume the next schedule of Manikarnika.
